What is the Most Important Issue Facing the U.S. in 2015?


President Obama, is due to give his annual State of the Union Address on January 20th, 2015. Between now and then he is scheduled to travel the country to speak to different groups about different issues that he believes should set the agenda for 2015 for the new Congress. Later this year, you'll take on the role of a Congress-person and write your own bill about something that you think ought to be a law... to make America better. What issues are you most interested in? What do you think our country ought to do about them?

Did any of the news over break or any experiences that you had on your travels give you any ideas?

Use this discussion to set the agenda for President Obama's State of the Union Address. What do you want him to talk about? What do you want him to say? Why?

This discussion will be the last of 2nd quarter and will remain open until Friday, January 17th.
